Nauczanie misyjne w ramach świętokrzyskich kazań radiowych
Mission issus of the Holy Mass homilies broadcast by Polish radio

Summary/Abstract: The article noting the phenomenon of holy masses broadcast on Polish Radio presents missionary teaching. First it introduces the persons of bishops and priests proclaiming the word of God.The presented analysis shows that homilies delivered on Polish Radio during Holy Masses transmitted from the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw comprehensively and approximate the teaching on the missionary nature and tasks of the Church. They make a valuable contribution to pastoral care. These sermons devoted to missions are a great way to awaken the missionary spirit of the faithful. They teach about the missionary nature of the Church, about the tasks and role of the Church in the modern world. The authors of the homilies emphasize and remind of the shared responsibility of all members of the People of God for the Church, all humanity and missions. They make the baptized in the mission work more sensitive, inform them about the specific needs of the mission work and the possibilities of cooperation in the mission “ad gentes”. They show that despite the apparent lack of relationship, the missionary commitment concerns not only missionaries but everyone, from the youngest to the sick and suffering. A valuable aspect of the homilies is pointing to specific, practical forms of commitment to the missionary work of the Church. Often the strong advantage of the proclaimed word is that its author himself experienced the hardship and beauty of missionary work as well as solidarity and help shown to him. Thanks to this, the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw has become an important place from which the call resounds that the Church in Poland should be still in a state of mission.
